Abstract

In a vertical cavity laser, such as an InP based vertical laser, the energy bandgap in the active region can be made equal to or larger than the bandgap in a semiconductor mirror stack by virtue of degenerate doping in the stack sufficient to suppress electronic band-to-band optical absorption. For example, the active region of an InP based laser can be lattice-matched GaInAs, GaInAsP, or a multiple quantum well structure composed of layers of InP and GaInAs--with the mirror stack composed of alternating layers of InP and degenerately doped n-type lattice-matched GaInAs or GaInAsP.
